A Jaw Gould and the Brake man.

Cant allow that my dear sir, said a
brakeman on one Of the Wabash lines the
other day rather sharply to a passenger
who was trying to crack a pecan on the
end of the car reat.
The offender, a small man of quiet de-
meanOr, looked up and remarked that 1t
was not hurting the seat; he was hammer
ing on cast iron.
~ can't help that, sir" said The brake
man. Suppose we let everybody crack
nuts OH the car seats, don't you see it
would deface them? | tell you it won't
do. You'll have to stop it,"
'Ill pay for all the damage do" said
the little man, bringing his knife handle
down on the nut again.
you'll get out of the car il you don't
quit; that's what you'll do" quOth the
exasperated brakeman.
''Oh, no, | think not" said the little
man. 'Ill try to put up with the injury
to the car. | can stand It," And he
handed the brakeman a card inscribed
thus:

were only doing your duty. No need to

abuse the property of the road than any
other passenger would have. Always do
your duty regardless of persons. I'll
keep an eye ont for you"
IAN hour later the great railway mag
nate left the train.
'DO you see that little fellow, " said the
brakeman to an acquaintance. That's
Jay Gould. Pm solid with him and my
fortunes made"
That Jay GOuld?" was the reply.
''NOt much. That's Smith Henry, of

The CarIfu Murder.

Evidence is now coming to light that
throws an entirely different aspect on the
Carlin murder, for such il certainly was.
II now appears that after Griffith knocked
Kepplar down he walked backward and
forward In front OF the PROSTATE man
giving him an occasional kick. While
doing this he told all bystanders outside
the building not to come in but to stay
where they were. In this manner he
abused his poor helpless victim until
death relieved him of his misery. II this
evidence is correct some man who had
enough courage about him to handle q
loaded shotgun should have procured one
and either compelled him to desist or
riddled him with It.. Public feeling Ia
very high in Carlin over the matter and
lynchinR was seriously talked OF. Both
men have families and Kepplar leaves his
wife and children in destitute circum-
stances.-Reno Journal.

SPRUEoEMoNT, July %, 1887.
To have for nearly 40 years not appeared
in print, and then at this late day come in
such a shape is really distressing.
Who would have thought that 9 plain
communication. defending the late Grand
Jury from false aspersions cast upon them
and their motives, should have raised your
ire to such a pitch as to let the question
ct issue go begging, and threaten the com.
munity to q 80 years. review Of my charac-
ter? That. however, may be some of
your legal methods as an attorney of an
swering questions or charges.
In that communication / referred to no
ones private character, least Of all to
| yours, which, unlike Caesars wife, 10 not
above reproach. I neither assaulted nor
did l defend any ones private character.
Acting as a public servant, ~ well as the
balance of the Grand Jurors, my COM
munication was to defend our public acts.
As for not desiring to waste ammunition
ON dead ducks, T" heartily agree with you.
The quotation Of your brave, valiant, and
intrepid General Butler, OF "shoo fly,
don't bodder me" is very apt, and was
illustrated here the other day to perfec-
ton, showing that sometimes even a fly
knows when to let go. About q week ago
some goods came up here, and among
them was a box marked on the waybill as
raisins. As the team came up close to
the store, it was noticed that a swarm of
flies were following the wagon. Pretty
soon the box was unloaded and brought
into the store, the swarm Of flies follow
ing and lowering about the box, seemingly
drawn towards it as by magnetism.
After the balance Of the goods were I'M
loaded and some one noticing the flies
still keeping around that box, marked on
the waybill as ~raisins, n individual
suggested to open 1t and see what it con-
tanned. The cover was removed, the flies
made q dart for the contents, but when
coming within q few inches wheeled right
about in their course and struck of in al
bee line for the back door, which hap
pened to be open. The box contained
Limburger cheese, but the stencil arising
from it was such that even the flies would
not catch on and few away from it as hu-
man beings would to escape a pestilence.
As you have named the drama, l will
assume the role Of character which you,
by implication, have assigned to me-The
Fly, and leave you the more distinguished
and honorable character of the cheese to
~personste. Too LOUD. I shall got "bodder "
you any more. / shall also leave to you
the unenvisble task of writing up my pri-
vate character. which l suppose will be OF
great interest to the community at large.

blood mingled with her Piute breed. 1t

seems a pity that she is doomed to be-
come a wretched squaw. Half.white
females are looked upon with aversion,
and are degraded as much as possible. In
